In Kenya, it is often perceived as shameful to be studying at a late age. For 23-year-old Silvia who recently returned back to secondary school, books on her mobile phone mean that she can study in privacy. 

18-year-old Edith from Navrongo, Ghana first heard about Worldreader mobile from a friend who volunteered with Worldreader. Ever since then, she has read over 200 stories on the app. Reading particularly matters to Edith because it will help her become a successful woman in the future.
